Going on a hiking vacation whether alone or in the company of your best friends can be an exhilarating experience. Following long trails carrying only a few bare essentials with only you to depend on feels like an eye-opening trip for some people. I know of a friend who took a hiking break when she needed the solitude to make some major decisions in her life. And, I agree. Being alone helps you put your life in perspective. And, there is always the added positive of the sense of adventure, stunning locales, and meeting new people.

Check online and you’ll probably find a whole bunch of websites helping you list and put together all the gear you’ll need for your hiking vacation. I have for you a list of 10 essential gadgets that I feel every girl should have along. Go ahead and take a look. And, add all the others you feel you absolutely must have.

No. 1 – Solar Charger

Carrying gadgets is a great thing but they’re good only as long as they have the power to keep going. No doubt you’ll carry batteries but there are only so many you can have along. For this reason, you need chargers. I would suggest that you carry a portable solar charger. You’ll be surprised at the amount of power it can give you. For instance, expose the charger to one hour of sunshine and you can extract two hours of talk time from your mobile phone. You can also use it to power tablets, iPhones, satellite phones, cameras, and even, a small medical fridge for any medication you need to have along for your hiking vacation.

No. 2 – Smartphones and Tablets

When you’re spending long hours on the road, you need to remain connected with loved ones back home. Of course, you wouldn’t want to carry expensive devices along so the next option is to carry refurbished gadgets that work very well but are economical. In case you do lose a device or it gets damaged on your hiking vacation, it won’t be a major loss. Look for used tablets and other devices at reduced prices and you’re good to go. Remember, you can download a bunch of apps that can prove to be very handy on your travels such as GPS tracking that helps you plan the best routes to take along with all the information you may need about your destination. And, let’s not forget taking loads of pictures of your hiking vacation for sharing with people back home.

No. 3 – Global Data SIM

When choosing your smartphone, make sure that it is unlocked. Invest in a Global Data SIM that you can use at rates ranging from $4 for 50MB of data to $12 for 500MB of data per day. You can use the data at unlimited speeds however take care to restrict usage to below limits. For instance, if you choose the Keepgo’s global data service, you can also get AT&T SIM cards.

No. 4 – USB Port

In case you stop for the night at a motel or hotel during your hiking vacation, having this device along can help you charge your electronics within a short time. Plug multiple gadgets at once to any wall socket and charge them quickly. It makes sense to have one of these along if you’ve been traveling on cloudy days and your solar charger isn’t working as expected.

No. 5 – Handheld GPS Device

I’ve been advised to have one of these gadgets along. That’s because the GPS in smartphones is dependent on an internet connection. In the event that you’re passing through locations that don’t have very good internet connectivity, you might have trouble finding your way. Not only do these gadgets provide you with detailed topography, but they also act as compasses.

No. 6 – SD Ultra 64GB MicroSDXC Card

SD cards are very handy when you need extra memory. They cost just $40 and you can fit them in basic cameras, professional cameras or even, Android smartphones when you want to save lots of pictures and perhaps, video footage of your experiences.

No. 7 – Portable Pocket Wi-Fi Routers

When on your hiking vacation, you might find that the hotel internet service isn’t all that effective. Having a portable Ethernet is a handy gadget to have along so you can create a Wi-Fi hotspot wherever you are. For instance, the TP-Link model may set you back by just $30 and is about the size of a laptop power adapter which makes it compact and easy to carry. An added positive is that it has a USB port so you can use it to charge other electronics.

No 8 – Water Purification Solutions

One of the basic essentials for your hiking vacation is undoubtedly some solution that helps you get clean drinking water. When you’re on the road, you need adequate amounts of water to remain hydrated and carrying it along just isn’t practical. You could pack in water purification tablets or try one of the UV purifiers like the Steripen that is compact and affordable.

No. 9 – SPOT Gen3

This little gadget is an absolute must-have on your hiking vacation. In case of an emergency, you only have to hit the button and it will send an SOS signal along with your GPS location to the IERCC (International Emergency Response Coordination Centre). The SPOT Gen3 works even in areas where there is no mobile coverage. You can also use this device to send a preset text message or email with your location to 10 contacts you’ve chosen. It’s useful for touching base with loved ones at regular intervals.

No. 10 – SPOT Global Satellite Phone

Opt for the SPOT Global Satellite Phone if you intend to travel to destinations that may not have internet or mobile connectivity. Getting this device can set you back by $500 and services cost $25 per month for 10 minutes of talk time. However, the more expensive plans give you more calling time and data usage.

I personally think that these are 10 basic gadgets that every girl must have on her hiking vacation. That’s of course, in addition to the backpacks, camping gear, and all other gear you’ll need. If you can think of any more to add to this list, go ahead and add them in comments. I’m sure many hiking enthusiasts will welcome your thoughts. Happy hiking!

As humans, we have all felt at one point in our lives like we were just not going in the right direction. From unexpected turns in our personal lives to unsatisfactory advancements in our professional lives, it may seem like the risk of failure is always lurking.

For me, a disappointing career choice was what left me directionless and unmotivated. After a couple months trying to figure out how to rediscover myself in order to redirection my life, I ended up finding an exciting idea: travelling.

Although I had traveled before, I had never done so alone, nor with the sole purpose of self-discovery. Slightly terrified, yet anxious to get the process started, I booked my flight to Brazil and left a couple weeks later. And believe me, the person I was when I left, was 100% different from the person I was when I came back. This truly amazing experience has definitely put be back on track to self-discovery, motivation, and, ultimately, a happier life. So, in order to share my experience with as many people as possible, I have decided to write about the “Traveling Benefits For Self-discovery”. So, with no more delays or back stories, here are some of the benefits of traveling with the sole purpose of self-discovery:

#1. You are the sole tracer of your destiny

While traveling alone with the sole purpose being self-discovery, you are the only person in charge. By that, I mean, you are the one who can decide what you will do next, where you will go next, or who you will meet next. This can be a great way to rediscover some of your deepest desires and tastes. At the same time, some people may see this new-found “power” quite overwhelming. If you are struggling to find what your next step is, just follow your intuition. I learned this lesson from Tony Robbins’ event in Florida. I realized that I can create and design my own destiny.

#2. You are solely accountable for your mistakes

Just as you are the only person in charge of your destiny, you are also the one accountable for the mistakes that may happen along the way. This is a great tool especially for those who tend to be more stubborn (as me) and tend to believe that their decision is always the best decision. Once a mistake happens, own up to it and try to quickly find a new alternative. A little story: while in Brazil I thought it was a great idea to go into a favela ( a type of dangerous neighborhood) alone. Long story short, it did not go well. Anyway, I treated that experience as a date with destiny.

#3. A chance to get to know yourself outside of your normal routine

Traveling as a tool to self-discovery also gives you the unique opportunity to help you figure out who you are when there’s no routine. With no mandatory job, family, and social gatherings to attend, what do you do? Ultimately speaking, who are you when you are not defined by your job, family, or social status? This can be quite a tricky question, even taking years and years to answer. The goal here is to follow your innermost desires and truly invest the time needed to find your true self.

#4. Plenty of alone time to meditate

The last benefit in our list is the amount of alone time! Meditation is a great tool to help you redefine who you are and, quite luckily, you can pretty much meditate anywhere! If meditation is not really up your alley, try to take some time after a day of traveling to think about yourself, who you are, and what you want. Try to think about your choices throughout the day and how they mirrored you and your personality.

These are all the tips we have for you guys today! Hope you enjoyed the article, and will soon begin your journey to self-discovery!

I have always loved traveling. From the planning stages, all the way to the plane ride back home, when it comes to traveling it is as clear as day: I’m addicted.

As a student and part-time employee, I often think about the importance of traveling and the impact it has in my life. By focusing on the “cons”, I can quickly see that my monthly trips not only come with a hefty monetary price tag, but also involve quite a big time investment. On the other hand, as soon as I start thinking about this topic, I can’t help but be overwhelmed by the huge “pros” list. Instead of focusing on this endless list (and inevitably writing a monstrous article), I have decided to sum up how traveling has improved my life. Hope you enjoy this article, and in it find all the right reasons you need to start planning your next adventure!

#1. Better organization skills

Without a single doubt, traveling demands some prior planning! If you, just like me, are a traveler on a budget, you will soon realize (or already have come to the conclusion) that organization can lead to huge discounts! On the other hand, by keeping a tight schedule and organizing your time to your liking, you will make sure you can visit and explore the city you are in.

By coming up with an organized way to look for flights, hotels, and the cheapest dates, you will save up money, time, and energy.

#2. Increased social skills

Growing up in Europe, I was never the most sociable kid. Unfortunately, my dislike for small talk followed me well into adulthood.

But guess what, being stranded in a foreign country, lost, hungry, and tired, was exactly what I needed to break this spell. For example, by opting to stay in hostels or through Airbnb, you have the priceless chance to meet the city you are in from a completely different perspective. Strike a conversation and you will soon have all the necessary tips to have the trip of a lifetime. Interpersonal skill is one of the most important self-improvement skills I need to learn.

#3. More positive outlook on life

Whenever I am out of the country, I can’t help but feel absolutely content with my current life. Traveling is an absolutely priceless educational experience, and definitely, one that I will forever cherish. By seeing how others live, what their history and culture is like, and even how they party, I learn more than I could ever learn from a simple book or tv show. To anyone reading this and thinking about traveling, my absolute recommendation is “do it”. Although it may seem like a lot of work and a lot of money for a couple days in a different city, the memories and the knowledge will stay with you forever.

#4. A motivation source

As previously mentioned, being a student and holding a part-time job is no easy task. Traveling helps me to fully focus on University and at work since I know that with a week/month/… I will be in a different city enjoying myself. While for University I try to finish up as many exams before Summer as possible, at work I try to do my best in order to have more money to spend on each trip. At the end of the day, traveling means I have an escape from a chaotic routine. I remmeber when I decided to join and purchase my UPW ticket, it was one of the best decision in my life. The event gave me heaps of motivation and positive outlook in life.

#5. A way to keep in touch with friends and family

As I get older, I have noticed it’s getting harder and harder to meet up with some childhood friends. And traveling together is a great way to keep in touch! Every year one person of the group is in charge of picking the destination and to plan out the whole trip. Then, for a full week, we can just enjoy each other’s company and let the conversation flow with no interruptions! And this does not have to be an expensive way to keep in touch, as you may choose to travel within your country rather than going abroad.

You don’t need to travel to get the full benefits from a travel backpack. Anyone in any profession can take advantage of its versatility and functionality. This is very suitable for business people who need to get around the city or go to important meetings. The bag is spacious, versatile, and easy to move around. This article shows you five ways how a travel backpack can benefit everyone.

1# It’s Convenient to Carry Everything:

This is a major advantage. The insides are compartmentalised, which makes it easier for you to store your things and to get them out when you need them. Another section is designed to keep your electronics and accessories. You can also find a compartment that is perfect to keep documents flat and gives easy access.

2# A Travel Backpack is Versatile:

The Carry-on Backpack is versatile. You can wear it on your back, carry it in your hands or attach a removable shoulder strap to make you look professional. This means you have the ease and convenience of moving around and carrying it however you please. And when you need to change the look, attach the shoulder strap to give good first impressions.

3# It’s Easy to Move Around:

Picture this: You have several files and documents that you need to bring to the meeting. And not to mention a laptop, tablet, chargers and your phone. It’s raining outside so you need your coat and it’s a long day so you’ve got lunch. That’s a lot of things to put inside your bag. You may even need to carry two or three.

This never happens with a spacious carry-on travel bag.

Everything fits inside. This means it’s easier to bring around with you and more convenient when you have to rely on trains. You can also fly through the airport too without having to worry about dropping your luggage and delays at security.

4# Everything is Organised:

One of the major advantages is that everything is organised. The compartments let me arrange the things the way I want. This makes it easier to access them later and has saved me a few times in a meeting. Rather than searching around for something, I can take it out in a second. You will look much more professional.

Compare this to a briefcase where you may need to empty everything to find what you’re looking for. And to make things worse, it’s small and won’t fit all your personal belongings inside.

5# A Travel Backpack is Multifunctional:

If you use this bag for work, you can also use it for other things too. What about if you do want to go travelling or to take a short vacation? You have everything you need with you ready to go.

The Takeaway Message:

I hope this article has convinced you that you can benefit from buying one of these bags to help you at work. You don’t necessarily need to use this versatile and multifunctional bag just for travelling. It also works great as a professional and organised shoulder bag too.

Traveling around the world can be a very exciting experience. However, these joyous moments can be short-lived when you realise how quick your savings are being consumed. The only way to secure your comfort while on a trip is to save as much money as possible and work within a set budget.

Travel is all about making new discoveries. The setting of the sun does not imply the end of adventurous trips. In fact, some breathtaking adventures around the world occur best at night. Here are five of the best night tours that are worth losing sleep for.

A Night Walk through the Australian rainforest using torches.

Human beings love to discover, and they do not stop unravelling the beauty of nature. A night tour of the Australian rainforest offers one of the best opportunities to learn more about forest life at night.

Consequently, participants come across active nocturnal snakes, possums and rare birds among other wild animals. Daintree rainforest, being the world’s oldest rainforest, is a great venue to learn and discover some of the ancient plant species. Visitors also discover poisonous plants and herbs.

Intramuros Ghost Walk of the Philippines

Take a historical three-hour tour of the Intramuros district situated at the center of Manila to experience paranormal activities and sights. During the ghost walk tour, be on the lookout for spirits, demons, imprints and elementals. However, it is not a guarantee that every participant would experience otherworldly auras.

The tour entails a visit to various places, including abandoned buildings, dungeons, and bridges. Since the trip occurs at night and involves marching within the walls, you can expect poor lighting. Carry along high-powered cameras to capture excellent photos. The tour is quite lengthy and tiring. As a result, most visitors take along essentials such as food, drinks, and wear comfortable clothing.

Stargazing at Pico Mountain (Portugal’s highest peak)

Enjoy an incredible view of the stars in Europe at one of Portugal’s highest peaks (7713 feet). Travelers take an overnight hike to the summit of Pico Mountain for stargazing that is one for the books.

The participants reach the peak of the mountain at dawn. Just an opportune moment to watch the rising of the sun over the Pico Island.

Watch hatching of Hawksbill turtles in Antigua

In Antigua, tourists are offered the opportunity to experience this amazing process during the nesting season that typically begins on June throughout November.

Through the ‘turtle watch’ program, guests are woken up at night once the turtles are spotted. It is quite an amazing experience whereby guests get to enjoy watching the Hawksbill turtles laying their eggs and hatching its young ones at the beach.

Horse riding under the moonlight in Tuscany

In this article, we’ll focus on the first consideration – picking a location. We have outlined some of the coolest family vacation ideas for multigenerational travel, perfect for your family bonding experience.

Normandy. One of the most rewarding things about travelling with the entire family in tow is seeing a new place through everyone’s eyes. Nowhere is this experience more touching than in Normandy. This region’s sands have witnessed a millennium of history. While the kids ride horses, sail, and go sand-sailing on Utah Beach, adults can sip Calvados at one of many beach bars. You can sightsee Pegasus Bridge, visit the Bayeux Tapestry and tour the American cemetery.

Puglia. Puglia is where families are celebrated and children are welcomed with open arms. Ride a bicycle through fields of sun-ripened artichokes, tomatoes, and eggplants and enjoy the musical Italian language as local mums encourage the children to “mangia, mangia.”

Sapporo. Japan’s snow capital, as well as the biggest city of the Northern Hokkaido, is famous for its snow festivals, seafood selection and more.

So, what is it about hiking trips that so many people set out each spring with backpacks and hiking boots? Ask some of the over 44 million Americans who went hiking in the spring of 2016, and they will give you different reasons. Some of them enjoy the outdoors with the feel of the sun on their faces and the wind in their hair. Others love the opportunity to lay down the stress of their everyday lives and spend time alone with only their thoughts for company. And, then, there are the nature lovers who like to immerse themselves in the beauty of their surroundings. Of course, hiking trips are great for your health too.

Begin Preparing Your Body Well Before the Trip

Whatever may be your reasons (or, well, excuses) for planning a hiking trip this spring, know that the essential element you must have in top working order is your body. You’ll need to begin conditioning your muscles at least a month before you plan to leave. This factor is especially important if you’ve spent most of the past months indoors indulging in almost no physical activity. Once you have your hiking holiday planned, begin preparing your body accordingly.

Check with Your Doctor for a Clean Bill of Health

Meet with your doctor and talk to her about your plans. She’ll probably run a few tests to assess your cardiovascular health. Hiking lays a lot of stress on your heart and lungs, so she’ll want to ascertain if you’re strong enough to bear the rigor and strain. She might advise you to take up aerobic exercises like jogging, climbing stairs, brisk walking, and running. Of course, you can always use the treadmill, stationary bike, or stair machine to begin preparing for your hiking trip indoors while the weather’s still cold.

Build Your Strength, Stamina, and Endurance Levels

When planning for your hiking trip, make it a point to go on a long walk every single day. A good tip is to buy the hiking boots in advance and train your feet to walk in them. Begin with short-distance walks and build up to longer ones gradually. You’ll find that as your legs become stronger and muscles get toned, walking becomes easier and easier. Covering longer distances each day will seem like a breeze. Don’t rush yourself but let your body set the pace. It’s okay to push yourself just a little, but don’t overdo it.

Plan for the Terrain You Want to Navigate

Having worked out the destination for your hiking trip, train your body to deal with it. Will you be walking on even terrain or are you going to be going uphill and downhill? For instance, if you’re planning to hike in the Swiss Alps, you’ll need to walk on inclines to prepare your upper and lower leg muscles, and also, the gluteal tissues in your buttocks. Most important, since you’ll be carrying a heavy backpack, you need to strengthen your back. Also, plan in advance if you’re going to be walking on paved roads or in the woods on uneven terrain.

Assess the Weight of the Gear You’ll be Carrying

Having conditioned your body for the long walks of your hiking trip, you need to prepare for the weight you’ll carry also. Buy your backpack and assess the weight of the gear you’ll have along. You could also exercise under a professional trainer who can guide you on how to handle the shifting center of gravity when you walk on inclines with a heavy backpack. Load up the stuff you intend to carry and try walking with it. You can make adjustments so that the backpack sits securely and you’re comfortable bearing the weight.

Fuel Your Body with the Right Kind of Foods to Build Stamina

While you train for your hiking trip, you’ll be raising the levels of activity you undergo in a day. To build up muscle mass, you’ll need to eat the right types of food. Your body tends to use carbs and proteins to rebuild the stressed muscles when you rest after a long walk. So, eat more of those. You’re also going to need more of fat so your body can burn it when you exert. Check with a nutrition expert who can guide you on the right foods that are high in carbs and fats and can give you the energy you need. If you intend to introduce any new foods into your diet for the hike, now would be a good time to begin. Condition your digestive system to tolerate these foods, so it doesn’t react to surprises.

Prepare Your Hair and Skin for the Road

Your hair and skin will endure some amount of damage since you’re exposing them to the elements of the sun and wind. Get your hair trimmed and remove all the split ends. Consider having it cut short, so it accumulates less dust, grime, and sweat on the road. Of course, you’ll need to use bandanas and caps for minimum exposure to the sun and dirt.

If your skin is prone to acne, all that sun exposure is going to cause it to break out. You could also notice more of wrinkles and fine lines. Before leaving for your hiking trip, go for deep cleansing treatments, so your pores remain unclogged for the duration of your tour. You could also consider getting dermabrasion facials to clean off all the dead cells.

Maintaining hygiene is another essential. In place of carrying epilators or hair removing creams, think along the lines of a more permanent solution. And, the best solution is to get laser treatments. According to the experts at BHRC, one of the leading aesthetic centers for laser hair removal in Los Angeles, lasers remove the hair at the roots so it cannot grow back. Once the treatment is complete, you can have hair-free skin all through your hiking trip without the need for unnecessary baggage.

Enjoy Every Moment of Your Hiking Trip

Once you prepare and condition your body for your hiking trip, you can only look forward to beautiful environs, the warmth of the sun, the excitement of exploring new places, meeting new people, and a whole lot of memorable experiences. The better prepared you are, the more rewarding will be every moment of your tour.

f you have never been traveling before then I cannot tell you what you are missing out and how urgently you need to hit the road. A few years ago my friend Judd Feldman and I went to Europe for 2 months and had the time of our lives. When I talk about traveling I am not talking about a week on a beach, basking in the sunshine, I am talking about hitting the road and touring around a part of the World, exploring all that you can and here are 10 reasons why you should be traveling.

Experiences

Travel gives you incredible experiences, from seeing sights that you have only ever seen on TV to meeting amazing people. When you travel you are far more open to these experiences and you will have a trip that you will never forget.

Education

Learning about different cultures and ways of life really enhances your own existence and when you get back home you will look at the World with a new set of eyes. We can often be guilty of thinking that the World is no bigger than our own little bubble, traveling will change that opinion.

Healthy

It has been scientifically proven that this who travel, live longer and if you want to add a few more years to your life then it is time to hit the road. Whilst you are traveling you will become healthier too as you seek more new adventures and activities than if you were at home.

Meeting People

As you travel you will meet people form all over the World, people with different stories to yours, people who you like, people who you love and even people who you like. Once you have left school it can be difficult to meet new people unless you change your job or your ZIP code, when you hit the road and travel however, you will meet more new people than yo ever thought possible.

Learn Who You Are

When you get away from your daily life and travel, you will find out who you really are. You will be tested on the road, you will need to embrace fears which you have and you will be forced to confront who you are. When you get away from everything you know ad travel, you can be whoever you want, nobody knows you, you can be the confident, charming individual that you have always dreamed of and essentially create a who new personality for yourself which is a far accurate picture of who you truly are.

Storyteller

Even traveling for just a couple of months will give you so many stories to tell when you get back home and it will add a different chapter to your life. Some people spend their whole lives trapped in the rat race and become far less interesting people as a result of it, if you hit the road and travel then you will become far more interesting and have a great deal more stories to recount to people.

If you have seemingly done everything there is to do in Europe and you’re looking for a new and interesting type of holiday, perhaps one where you don’t have to worry about anything, but you don’t want to be trapped inside an all inclusive, gated resort, why not try a yachting week in Croatia? Set sail on a rented yacht complete with everything you need to enjoy a week at sea, island hopping at your leisure and relaxing on your own yacht in the sun.

What’s Included?

Depending on what you’re looking for, you can either opt for a self guided yacht trip or for a hosted yacht which would give you a hostess as well as a skipper. Both are fantastic options, but for a truly stress free option the skippered/hosted option is best. Overall you would get your yacht for the week, any outboard engines and extras such as a dinghy, all equipment required for successfully operating a yacht, GPS and nautical mapping, stereo and cockpit speakers/equipment, bedding and other textiles and the fee for cleaning the yacht at the end. Additionally you would get any water taxis included for your journey.

What’s Not Included?

Most additional fees such as port fees, skipper/hostess tips and food costs for you and your travelling companions plus for your skipper/hostess. While your skipper and hostess will provide much of the work on board the boat for you, they will need to eat as well and you will be liable for the costs of food. In some cases people find it ideal to have meals with their skipper and hostess, making it a lovely experience to make some new friends and get to know people who have been doing this as a job for some time.

All this and more await you on a week long trip through Croatia on a yacht, simply the best way to tour the area for those who want some stability but are keen to adventure as well.

Yachting through the summer months in Croatia is a great way to meet like minded individuals who are also yachting, and to really get to know the area as well as develop new skills and interests. Nothing could be more exciting or enjoyable than sailing around the coastline of the beautiful country that is Croatia.
